Help Finding Precision Gray Touch Up Paint

Aside from the dealer and some very expensive online sources, I can't find touch up paint in my color. Duplicolor is the go to for the touch up brushes with the pen tip on the other end. They are cheap and that is a good thing since the paint dries up even with the cap on it over time. My paint code is W40 and they don't list it on their website at all. I guess I will give them a call one of these days, maybe its listed under a different name. Thanks for any assistance.

I got mine from the dealer, how much is expensive? If you plan on using alot maybe you could get a body shop to make you some that is premixed.

you're not going to find it any cheaper than the dealer. even if you save $.05 it will likely not match, so why bother?

Touch up paint is usually $12 or more at the dealer. The touch up paints that Dupli Color sells at verious local retailers is $5 and with how paint goes bad quickly I would be wasting money on the dealer paint. If the matching is that bad I doubt they would be in business. I have had good luck with their paint on my 3 previous cars/trucks.
